Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it correct to say: Are there extra letters in the Qur'an?
If you mean the word "extra," then in the Qur'an there are letters that are extra in terms of grammar,As for "extra," meaning: having no meaning. This is not correct.So His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He: [Surah Fussilat: 46] The letter "ba" is extra in terms of grammar,Therefore, if the sentence were not in the Qur'an and you said: and "Your Lord is not ungrateful to the servants." The speech is correct, but in terms of meaning, no. There is nothing extra in the Qur'an at all in terms of meaning;Because if we said: if there were something extra in the Qur'an in terms of meaning, it would have to be that there is in the speech something that is useless and has no benefit.If someone says: What is the benefit of the extra letters in the Qur'an?We said: The benefit is emphasis, for this is part of the language of the Arabs that they emphasize things with extra letters, and the Qur'an was revealed in the Arabic language, as He the Exalted said: [Surah al-Shu'ara: 192-195] .
The man asks: What does he mean by "extra"?If he says: Extra in terms of grammar,We said: Correct,And when he said: Extra in terms of meaning,We said: That is incorrect.
